Continuing with my Beatles theme, DJ copies of "Dark Horse" ran 2:48 and 3:52, all commercial copies ran 3:52.

A real interesting discovery that none of us picked up on - On Barry Scott's show this weekend, he played "Dark Horse" and then said something like "yes, you heard vinyl on that one because it's the rare single mix, NOT the album mix". The database mentions nothing of a single mix. Nor did anyone post about this in this chatboard. So does anyone have the 45, and can they verify that Barry is correct when he calls this the "single mix"?

This would be another great find for the singles collectors to have. I wonder if the new George Harrison compilation CD has this mix. Oh wait, I think someone posted that this song was skipped all together. Too bad they didn't put the single mix on here. It's not often that a new George Harrison compilation comes out!

I A-B'd the album version with the recording actually played on Barry Scott's show, which seems to simply be the dj edit (which edits out the 2nd verse and chorus). The quality of what I was hearing on Barry Scott's show was low because it was what I heard over the internet, and I couldn't quite tell if guitars were added to the mix or if the EQ's of my 2 "sources" were just very different. So it's possible that dj version was a different mix, but I'd guess it's really just the same mix, edited. If anyone has the dj edit on 45, I suppose they can compare with the CD and see if there really are mix differences.

my commercial 45 issued as apple 1877 has a plain white
label; no apple picture or green colors.....just plain
white....the label lists the run time as 3:52 and does
indeed run that and is identical to the version on the cd
'best of'.....you do need to slow the 'best of' cd version
by a second, to match it perfectly........question
is....was there ever a standard colorful apple logo design
issued for this vinyl 45 as apple 1877?

No. Even my promo 45 is in plain white, and omits the apple itself. But it
does say at the top "An Apple Record."

Paul Haney, I mistook your initial info for a long/short "combo" promo 45. To
clarify, there were clearly two different promo 45s issued for "Dark Horse",
as both the mono (deadwax "PRO 8009(X-48945)-Z-1") and stereo (deadwax
"X-48945-Z-5") sides of my promo 45 have both a listed and actual run time
of (3:52). But I do also see a label scan for the (2:48) promo you cite on
45cat, and both the mono and stereo sides for it both include the shorter
time. (In fact, that was the one I thought I was buying! Oh well....)

For what it's worth, Chip Madinger's book "Eight Arms To
Hold You"--which I consider the best source for details on
solo Beatles mix differences--does not note any mix
differences between the 45 and LP versions, other than the
edits on the promo copies.

Still looking for the (2:48) DJ edit on this one.

I had a DJ 45 recreation at one time, but it's MIA.

Today, taking some time to recreate on memory, I seem to
recall one edit to get to the 2:48 DJ 45 length.

If you cut from 00.59.636-2:02.40 does that make sense?
It runs 2:48 after the edit.

Can anyone confirm I am correct?

Steve was kind enough to send me a mono dub of the edit.
Wow, turns out my memory, for once, didn't fail me.

So, Paul Haney, details above are correct to recreate
the short edit.
